At the recent White House Correspondents’ dinner, Donald Trump made a playful remark about running for a third presidential term while sporting a ‘Trump 2028’ cap. The 80-year-old US president, currently in his second term, referenced the constitutional limit of two terms but humorously mentioned winning three times and contemplating another run.
During his speech at the event, Trump reiterated his earlier statements about a potential third term, emphasizing that he was only joking and comparing it to the success of his second term. Although unconstitutional, Trump’s musings on a third term have been a recurring topic, with previous mentions of potential methods to achieve it.
The dinner, held amidst heightened security at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, was a rescheduled event following an alleged assassination attempt at the original venue. Trump addressed the security incident, making light-hearted comments about the situation and even joking about pop star Nicki Minaj twerking in response to the commotion.
In addition to his lighthearted remarks, Trump took a swipe at the media, labeling them as suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and predicting financial struggles once he leaves office. Despite some awkward moments, including acknowledging reporters who had covered stories critical of him, Trump maintained a jovial demeanor throughout the evening.
